I was able to get out this morning for a short walk with my buddies and my camera. The snow was so pretty I just couldn't resist.
The dogs had fun playing ball.
They were quite competitive about their ball play. Such viciousness!
But eventually after a while they got along.
Then I was able to take some quiet shots.
Merry Christmas from everyone here on Spruce Hill! May you enjoy all the love and majic the season brings.
I am feeling well after my chemo treatment on Thursday. I had Christmas Eve here at the house, it was not as hard as I thought it would be. I had lots of help, my SIL and nieces came over and cleaned my house Thursday as a surprise! What a wonderful gift. I am blessed with such a wonderful supportive family. Hubs and my girls are really stepping up and taking one for the team. I am so proud of them.
Have a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Thank you for all of your well wishes and support. It means more to me then you all could know.

Everything is glowing and gold this morning, perfect for a walk down to the creek.
I didn't plan my walk, the creek was just calling me.
I didn't walk all the way down the path, it's steep and really slippery. Not a good Idea for me to fall on the wet leaves. So I crouched at the top of the cliff, I watched and listened to the quiet.
It was the perfect light for a little Bokeh.
Sweet!
This morning I set out to get a few pictures full of fall color. There is still a hint of summer in the air, but the leaves here in Maryland are starting to change and fall.
Fall is one of my favorite seasons, I love the crisp, clean, cool air. Sitting on the porch in the sun and enjoying the last warm rays of the sun.
I look forward to the changes and all the photos I can take. New things evey day, slight changes in my everyday surroundings.
I had a little trouble taking photos this morning because I was attached to this.
Finny is now a full time wearer of the cone of shame and still has to be on a leash outside. Sadie is afraid of him when he is wearing it. She runs away from him. Today on our walk Cocoa our goat backed away from him and ran away. It cracked me up! Poor guy.
Last week I had a really busy week. Monday I had yet another blood transfusion. My red blood cell counts continue to drop after a couple of chemo cycles. After I get my blood I am good for a few cycles and then they go back down again. When My red cell counts go down the oxygen in my blood is very low and it makes me anemic. It is very hard to breath and I find it hard even climbing the steps to read Little E a book at bedtime. After I get my transfusion I am back to normal and feel great.
Last Wednesday I had a scan to see how my chemo is coming along. There were some slight changes in a few areas and I will find out tomorrow wheather My Doctor will change my chemo. We are talking Millimeters here. So He is right on it, conferencing with other doctors and even consulting some of his buddies at Hopkins. I was not prepared for the change but am confident in how my doctor is handling it and I am ready to do whatever I can to keep plugging along here and kick cancer's butt!
Finny is doing very well. His leg is healing nicely and we are hoping to get his bandage and staples removed tomorrow. He is not at all fond of being on a leash every time he goes out. He is ready to go out and resume his daily activities. Harassing goats, chewing boots, and knocking over trash cans, oh and rolling in dead toads. I however have not missed any of his trouble causing activities and find the short break a welcomed change. I know deep down inside that he is planning a doosie of a day after he is a free man! I will be prepared!
